I'm planing some major modifications on a 1303 beetle.
As I don't have the car here where I am right now I need some help from you. If you have a 1303 superbeetle body in your parking, compound or garage, and of cause something to measure with,.
Then please help me, I need measure inside the car between the doors, when both doors are closed, door to door right under the vent windows on the door trim and to the other door same place.
I also need the measure between the both B-pillars in height of your shoulders.

Thanks for your help..

Hi,

I measured between the doors, on painted part just above the door trim below the vent wing handle 112.5 cm

the shoulder height on the B pillar measured 113.5 cm, it would be a little wider without trim from the hoodlining
